Patent EP-0249396-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BARBER ANTHONY
IPC: G09F11/02
Filed: 1987-06-03
Abstract: A rotary display unit of the type using triangular cross-section vanes (120) to provide three sequential displays is designed to allow vanes to be changed without the use of tools. Each vane is carried by a support member: (122:124) at each end. The support members have spindles (44) that locate in fixed bearings (114: 116) in a housing (100). One support member (122) of each vane has its spindle (44) spring- biased to an extended position to retain the vane in position. The spindle is retractable by manual manipulation (45) to allow ready release of the vane assembly. The other support member (124) has cam follower parts (52) that are driven by a cam (130) mounted below the vanes, so that the vane is readily liftable from the cam drive without difficult disengagement. The support members (122) with the retractable spindles (44) are mounted down one side of the housing and an overlying flap (106) of the housing is mounted in a readily detachable fashion to allow access to the support members (122).

Abstract: Multi-system or "universal" AM stereo receivers are provided which require no switching of the receiver's stereo decoder circuitry regardless of which AM stereo system signal is being received. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, acceptable stereo sound is achieved for all AM stereo systems by introducing a selected amount of distortion correction (12, 13, 14) in the L-R channel of the universal receiver and a selected phase difference (17, 18) between the L+R and L-R channels. In addition, perceived stereo separation in AM stereo and other stereo receivers is enhanced by also properly selecting the gain (16) in the L-R channel in relation to the L+R channel.

Abstract: The process for transforming a yarn of fibres which is obtained by spinning with released fibres consists in subjecting the same single portion of the continuously running yarn to three combined and simultaneous actions, the first of partial and momentary untwisting sufficient to allow the fibres to slide relative to each other, the second of reduced drawing to a ratio of between 1.10 and 1.25, and the third of controlling the fibres while they slide. The device comprises a pair of input rolls (2, 2') delivering the yarn (1) at a speed V1, a rod (3) twisted about itself into a helix along its lengthwise axis, and movable in rotation about the said axis, and a pair of output rolls (5, 5') delivering the converted yarn (1a) at a speed V2 of between 1.10 and 1.25 V1. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A low-pressure dyecasting method for metals is improved with a view to reducing the formation of voids. This is achieved by applying gas pressure to the casting in the mould, at least until it solidifies completely, pressure application taking place after a time, starting from the beginning of solidification, which corresponds to 20 to 70% of the solidification time of that portion of the casting in which the formation of voids is to be prevented. Choosing the optimum time for applying pressure is very important, whereas the level of pressure has a rather more secondary influence on the formation of voids.

Abstract: The present invention provides a clutch (7) connected between a robot mechanism (9) and an attached end-of-arm-tooling device (EOAT) (11). The clutch (7) includes two plates (10,20) having a fixed relationship with one another maintained by permanent magnet cells (30) housed in one of the plates (20). Excessive loading on the EOAT (11) beyond predetermined amounts causes the plates (10,20) to separate from one another. Any changes in the fixed relationship of the plates (10,20) with respect to one another will cause a substantially instantaneous diminishing of any load being transmitted between the two plates (10,20).

     The token-passing channel may be the control channel 26, and the message packets transmitted by the nodes over the control channel may comprise messages for negotiating the allocation of the allocatable channels to the individual nodes. Alternatively, or additionally, message packets comprising data messages unconnected with negotiating the allocation of the allocatable channels may be sent over such a token-passing channel. 
     More than two nodes may be permitted to communicate on one of the allocatable channels, thereby establishing a logical sub-network which can operate using any desired protocol over the allocated channel
